Musée Saint-Remi
A former royal Abbey of Saint-Remi converted into an archaeology and history museum, whose 16th-century tapestries depicting the life of Saint Remi are its pride.
The museum occupies the Benedictine abbey beside the Saint-Remi Basilica, and its 17th- and 18th-century cloisters and grand staircase are well preserved. The collection covers archaeological finds from prehistoric and Gallo-Roman times through medieval Reims, including Roman mosaics and sarcophagi, along with ten 16th-century tapestries depicting the life of Saint Remi. Admission is about €5, and the museum is closed on Mondays (check the official website). It is next to the Saint-Remi Basilica, so the two can be visited on the same trip.
